Tag…You’re It!

I remember when these “all about you” questionnaires would circulate via email. My how times have changed…now they’re circulating through blogs! Either way I love doing these things because they’re procrastination at it’s best. Thanks to Calandra, my cousin & co-editor of this blog, for asking me to share 11 random things about me and answer 11 questions she has asked about me. Even though we’re cousins I learned something new about her(and confirmed how similar we are–must be the genes!) so maybe she’ll learn some new things about me.

I majored in Religious Studies in college but had no intention of going to seminary–I just thought to subject was interesting!
